Had this in a restaurant. Really like this Wine, tasted ‘18 again after 8 months. Pale lemon with ripe white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate ripe apple and peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character, aged well, tasting great!

Call me pedestrian, but this smelled and tasted like wet dog. Thought id love it with description of dry minerality, but not for me.

Really like this Wine, tasted 6 months ago, aging great. Pale lemon with ripe white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate ripe apple & peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character. should continue to age, but great now! When I get a bottle I just can’t leave it in the cellar!!

Really like this Wine, tasting ‘17 & ‘18 together, ‘18 notes. Pale lemon with ripe white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate ripe apple & peach, very complex, lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral and sweet honey character. should age well, but great now! I like the ‘18 just a bit better!

Great texture. Just a pearl of residual sugar. Seashells and sand.
